Pensions Administration Senior Business and Transition Analyst in Birmingham

This role combines the core responsibilities from both the Transition Analyst (TA) and Senior Business Analyst (SBA) positions within UK Pensions Administration. This role would ideally suit a Senior Pensions Administrator or Team Manager who is looking for a new opportunity working as part of a highly engaged team to identify, define and deliver improvements to Pensions Administration Teams.

Are you a person who enjoys identifying and delivering improvements to Pensions Administration Teams? Do you have Pensions Administration knowledge of member DB pension calculations and can work collaboratively as part of a team to support delivery of automation solutions and change? If the answer is yes, then this could be the role for you.

We have a Senior Business and Transition Analyst vacancy in our UK Transformation Team with office locations in Birmingham and Sheffield. This is a hybrid opportunity with flexibility to work both virtually and from one of our office locations.

What the day will look like:

• Review current practices, analyse data, and identify areas for improvement.
• Work with key stakeholders to gather requirements, define objectives, agree scope, and shape solutions.
• Conduct investigations and data reviews to determine suitable process or system changes.
• Liaise with senior managers to raise challenges, agree resolutions, and maintain project alignment.
• Collaborate regularly with colleagues across teams to ensure the right outcomes.
• Specify test matrices, create test cases, and support testing for automated and manual calculation scenarios.
• Work with Calculation Programmers, Data Analysts, and Admin Teams to ensure calculations and automation are built, tested, accurately signed off and rolled out.
• Support Project Managers with coordination, governance activities, and preparation of background materials or slide decks.
• Present updates and recommendations to project boards and support rollout of changes to wider teams.
• Coach and mentor colleagues within the team and across the business to build capability and support adoption of improvements.

How this opportunity is different:

This position is a unique opportunity to work on a variety of projects to drive and deliver change across Pensions Administration. Projects can vary between working on new business implementations, implementing process improvements, working on strategic projects, and supporting key deliverables. You will be working as part of a highly engaged team, where your input will be key to delivering change. You will be encouraged to participate in team meetings, and to provide feedback where appropriate, to different role levels.

Having a strong network of colleagues for support is pivotal for your individual development, and your network of colleagues will naturally increase rapidly from day one. There will be individual development opportunities within the role, with new and interesting challenges presenting themselves through changes in pensions legislation and industry initiatives.

Skills and experience that will lead to success:

• Have a strong desire to deliver improvements to Pensions Administration teams.
• Be proactive and self-motivated, with a desire to own and deliver the best solutions for Aon.
• Ability to positively influence and work well with others.
• Have strong time-management skills, able to prioritise and manage your work.
• Ability to identify risks/issues, and work with internal stakeholders to mitigate these.
• Demonstrate strong Excel skills, effectively using them to build and manage test matrices that support system automation would be an advantage.
